By Ida Dorsey


The effectiveness of many businesses, regardless of its size, in the current economy depends on its ability to retain the existing loyal customers and finding new ones. Most businesses prefer physically meeting their customers during trade show exhibit display through their representatives who holds a meeting with their potential customers. The most important part is having a relevant trade show exhibition and you can achieve it through following key elements.

The economy is driven by revenues generated by the business community. In a market economy, there is a lot of competition and a need to offer unique products that will capture a segment of the market. All businesses are in need of customers who will not only use their services one time, but will come again and again to do business with them.

Advertising a product is one way of getting people to know what any business has on offer. One method of advertising is by taking part in exhibition displays. There are various trade shows, fairs or exhibitions held in most major towns and cities. Some are annual events while others are held at several times in a calendar year.

In order to reap maximum benefits from trade shows, a business needs to do adequate preparations before the event. Training of the business representatives is important. They should be properly informed about the company and the products. In addition to firm and product knowledge, the representatives should know how to handle visitors with courtesy and mild persuasion, without seeming to force them to buy a product.

After the potential client is met and the appointment is kept, follow up is key. One to two weeks after you have met with your potential customer, you must call or email them to follow up. You must be persistent, but not overly so. The whole point of doing these shows is to network and make connections that will hopefully last.

Other companies may be also offering freebies, so yours should be unique and need to be products that people can wear; they will also help other clients notice your company as they walk around. Some examples of the giveaway can be hats, sunglasses or T-shirts. When they put on these freebies as they carry out their daily activities, they will be a way to spread your brand out there; this is not a waste.

Branded items like hats, caps, key holders, are ideal to turn your visitors into future customers Have a feedback form and a pen ready, invite your visitors to share their thoughts about your products with you. Record your visitors' contacts. Pay them a courtesy call one week after the event, thanking them for attending the show and in particular for having visited your stall.
